Ordering is Open! November Salon@Home Meal Orders due Tuesday, November 9, 5:00 pm
Our monthly Salon@Home returns on Friday, November 12 at 6:00 pm! In August, the Jews of Color Initiative released Beyond the Count: Perspectives and Lived Experiences of Jews of Color, a groundbreaking and unprecedented study of the Jews of Color community that will enable the Jewish community to implement more change for recial equity and inclusion.
For our November salon, TBH is excited to host three members of the research team--Dalya Perez, Vincent Calvetti, and Gage Kleinman--to share key insights from the study and what we as a Jewish community can learn from it. The report can be found here.
Dinner provided by Nineveh will be available for pre-order, and you can pick it up at TBH on Friday afternoon. Erev Shabbat services will be at 6:00 pm, after which we will hear from our featured speakers, beginning at approximately 7:15 pm. Place your meal order here>>
Book Group Tuesday, November 16, 7:00 pm
Feast Your Eyes: A Novel - Myla Goldberg After discovering photography as a teenager through her high school's photo club, Lillian rejects her parents' expectations of college and marriage and moves to New York City in 1955. See the full book group 21-22 reading list here.
Maria and her son took sanctuary in our Temple beginning in September 2019, when they were faced with deportation to Guatemala. Due to both COVID and an improved environment for immigrants, the family is no longer housed at TBH. Both continue to express appreciation for all of us, especially the volunteers, and to have positive feelings about the time spent in the Temple.
However, they have continued to need some financial support and we are so thankful to those of you who have contributed. We now realize that monthly assistance of $1000.00 will be needed for some time.
We are reaching out to you now to pledge what you can on a monthly basis. To be clear, this is not a request from TBH. It comes from the TBH Immigration and Refugee Task Force, providing support through an account at Interfaith Works. Contributions are tax deductible.
If you are unable to make a monthly donation at this time, one-time donations are welcome as well.
